Topic: kenmore oven control (Read 6571 times)

I have restored a very old Kenmore stove, Model #143.6806800, but the thermostat broke and need a replacement part. I understand the part number is 5164 but is no longer available. Need help finding a replacement part. The first attachment is a picture of the back of the control knob where the thermostat is attached. The second attachment is a picture of where the thermostat is located in the stove.

Yep just did a Philco electric range made in the 1950's and thermostat was bad. Installed one of these and works fine. Takes a little basic electricity and they work great. Automatic preheat and fit most applications.

I noticed this thermostat has several plugs so will I be able to attach the wire for the indicator light as well? I removed the t-stat and attached a picture of the back. There are 4 connectors on the old one:

1. red wire connects to a timer2. red wire connects to an indicator light4. black wire going to flame switch5. white wire goes to back of stove - would need to take back of stove off to trace where this wire goes. You can probably make a good educated guess.

Am I safe to use similar connectors on this new one? Will it have wiring diagram of something to indicate what each connector is for?
